- Just Eat, Uber Eats & Deliveroo straight to your POS
- Live in 24–48 hours with free setup, training & UK support
The GloriaFood Shutdown: What Was Announced
Oracle, which acquired GloriaFood in 2021, has confirmed that the platform will close permanently on 30 April 2027. This is not a rebrand or a merger — accounts, the partner programme, and the product itself are being wound down.
Over 123,000 restaurants worldwide built their online ordering on GloriaFood, including thousands of UK takeaways and restaurants. For all of them, the situation is the same:
- New signups have already closed — the product is frozen with no roadmap.
- Oracle is not providing a migration tool — moving your data is on you.
- On shutdown day, website ordering widgets and Facebook ordering buttons stop working.
- Menus, customer data, delivery zones, and order history become inaccessible.
The good news: switching early turns a forced shutdown into a free upgrade. Posso already integrates with GloriaFood, so your menu can come across without re-keying — and you end up with more than you had before.
Why Operators Aren't Waiting Until 2027
The deadline is April 2027, but the risks start much earlier. Here is why UK restaurants and takeaways are moving now.
The Product Is Frozen
New signups are closed, there is no development roadmap, and no new features are coming. Every month you stay is a month on a platform that is winding down — while your competitors move to systems that keep improving.
Your Data Disappears
Oracle is not providing a migration tool. When the platform closes, menus, customer lists, delivery zones, and order history go with it. Exporting your data early — while everything still works — is the only safe option.
Ordering Goes Dark Overnight
On shutdown day, the ordering widget on your website stops working and Facebook ordering buttons stop working. If you have not switched by then, your online ordering revenue stops with them.
Why Posso Is the Natural Next Step
Don't just replace GloriaFood — upgrade it. Posso gives you everything GloriaFood did, plus the POS, kiosks, and delivery integrations it never had.
Your Own Branded Ordering Website
A modern, mobile-friendly online ordering website built to convert visitors into paying customers — a direct replacement for your GloriaFood widget, on your own domain, with your branding.
Branded Mobile App
Your own app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, putting your brand directly in your customers’ pockets. Plus a listing on the FoodBooking marketplace that drives new local customers — partners see up to 11% of total sales from it.
A Complete ePOS, Not Just Ordering
GloriaFood stopped at online ordering. Posso includes a full touchscreen ePOS, kitchen display, table management, and self-order kiosks — every order from every channel lands in one system. Offline-first, so service never stops.
Delivery Platforms, Integrated
Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo orders appear directly on your POS and kitchen display. No extra tablets, no re-keying — something GloriaFood never solved.
Low Commission — Keep Your Margin
Orders through your own website and app carry a low commission, a fraction of the 25–35% the big aggregators charge. No commission on in-store POS sales. Transparent pricing you can plan around.
Free Migration & UK Support
We import your GloriaFood menu, set up your delivery zones, brand your store, and train your team — setup and training are free. UK-based support on 0808 175 3956, with remote assistance when you need it.
Posso vs GloriaFood: Side by Side
An honest comparison. GloriaFood's free plan served a lot of takeaways well — but the platform is closing, and Posso covers far more of your operation.
